icers are almost proverbial, and need not be further enumerated by me but to express my heartiest gratification that they stood by me, as formerly, with a right good will and telling courage. Inclosed I have the honor to transmit to you a list of the casualties in my brigade. Very respectfully, your obed't servant, Bernard Liebold, Lieut.-Colonel Second Infantry, Missouri Volunteers, Commanding Second Brigade, Third Division, Right Wing, Fourteenth Army Corps. To His Excellency, Hamilton R. Gamble, Governor of the State of Missouri. General Rosecrans's great battle. The operations of Major-Gen. Rosecrans commenced on the twenty-sixth of December by the movement of his army from Nashville, culminated on Wednesday, the thirty-first, in the collision of his forces with those of the rebels, under Bragg, at Murfreesboro. The day will be always memorable, and its events are peculiarly interesting as affording the first test of the Federal commander in the new and onerous dutie

Major Duffield, commanding the cavalry forces, is also to be mentioned in warm terms. But Captain Black, commanding the Third Missouri cavalry, made for himself a most enviable reputation; thirteen shot-holes in his coat sufficiently indicate where he was — in the hottest of the fire. I respectfully commend him to your attention, and that of Governor Gamble, for one of the vacant field commissions in his regiment, which he has so nobly earned. I should be unjust, did I omit to mention Captain Lemon, of the same regiment, who, at the head of his men, held a most exposed post, and had several narrow escapes from sharp-shooters concealed in the brush. But the artillery saved the battle. Lieutenant Waldschmidt's gunnery was superb, and his coolness astonishing. The enemy's Parrott gun got his range and fired with great precision, compell
